excel sheet creation??
Frank,
Thanks for replying... we use a report generating tool (access)that gets talks to the database - but the custom reports don't have all the information... I am creating this report for a manager - Basically - this is what she wants: employee: the project she is working on hours per month and YTD - all of these come from that report - but we need a rate we bill to each client per hour - which is determined by the total fee we invoice to each client... So what she would like for me to do if possible is a report/template where I get a drop down menu for each employee - then it would give me the projects - the number of hours he/she have worked on monthly and YTD create a formula that pulls from another sheet the amount invoiced/billed to client divided by the YTD hours worked on each project... Hope that helps... Again thanks for your time and help... --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Hi
I still think you should add thise functionality in your database. Otherwise you have to store all the information in Excel also. So you either have to import specific date from your database into Excel or go the other way around: - add the information in yourdatabase - create additional reports in Access -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Frank, Thanks for replying... we use a report generating tool (access)that gets talks to the database - but the custom reports don't have all the information...

one question in regards to setting it up in access... the report writing tool gets the data from the data base and only when i run a report the tables are populated otherwise the queries, reports, tables are empty... can you point me to point where I can intercept this data??
